Mickey Cochrane is considered,
by many, to be the greatest catcher in major league
baseball history. He led the Philadelphia Athletics
to three pennants and two World Championships
(1929-1931). As the player-manager of the Detroit
Tigers, Cochrane led the team to two pennants
(1934, 1935) and a World Championship (1935).
A very tough competitor, he hit a .320 during
his Hall of Fame career.
